Palmer has been in electric form for Chelsea thus far this season and has notched 20 league goals, matching Haaland's tally for Manchester City. Of course, the pair used to be team-mates at the Etihad Stadium, but Palmer was limited to just 41 appearances in total for Pep Guardiola's side.

Across 38 games for Chelsea, Palmer has already contributed 36 goal involvements; 23 goals and 13 assists. It remains to be seen which star will have the final say on Saturday, though, when Mauricio Pochettino's side play Manchester City in an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.
WHAT PALMER SAID
Asked about matching Haaland, Palmer told beIN SPORTS: "It just makes me laugh to be honest. I never thought, this time last year, when I was playing with him, I'd be on the same goals as him, especially with what he was doing in the league last season. It's just mad."

Both the Blues and City will be aiming to reach the FA Cup final; for the former, it represents their last chance at silverware this season, while the latter are aiming for a domestic double of the Premier League and the FA Cup.
